A whole new woo-woo thing: the Saturn Bubbler

Right after I arrived in Brisbane I was directed to The Lightworkers Cottage. Originally, I went for the massage (still excellent!) but the are also an energy healing center as well, so it was bonus: a place to get my woo-woo on. :)

They've recently rented a workshop space and are doing "opening" kind of events. Last week, it was the installation of a Saturn Bubbler. The group doing the installation is called the Hermes Far Eastern Shining, based in Australia.

For those of you not in the know (like me), it's a construction of tubes and balls of water that has been invested/aligned/energized to a specific purpose -- providing healing energy to a specific geography. In this case, it's mission is to help heal the state of Queensland (no small feat since Queensland is the size of Alaska). As part of the installation, they actually inserted a map of Queensland into the structure.

The installation ceremony was engaging and audience-participatory. As each ball was added to the structure, one of the attendees was invited to hold the ball before the group as its purpose and design was explained. I was chosen for one.

It's a beautiful structure and it was a powerful experience to be part of a large group sharing such as this (there were 40 or so people present for this). All participants, including small children, were engaged in the energetics of the event and the room had quite the buzz to it. I spoke to one of the organizers and she said they'd had a lead on installing one in DC a year or two ago but it didn't happen. Heaven knows DC could use a little healing energy! :)

Part way through the ceremony, with 3 of the balls installed.

One member of the installation group explaining the structure. They all had names like Clover and Peaches. I didn't ask...

You are encouraged to hold a glass of water over the structure to energize the water before you drink it as a way of taking in the energy of the installation.
